Beef Tallow: Sourced from grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised cows, rich in vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants for deep moisturization and skin replenishment.

Squalene: Derived from olives, squalene restores the skin's moisture barrier, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting softness and suppleness.

Citronella: Known for its strong lemony scent, Citronella oil is a powerful insect repellent commonly used to ward off mosquitoes and other pests.

Lemongrass: With its fresh, citrus aroma, Lemongrass oil is effective in repelling insects while also providing antibacterial and antifungal benefits.

Eucalyptus: Eucalyptus oil not only helps keep bugs at bay with its invigorating scent but also has antimicrobial properties that promote skin health.

Egyptian Geranium: This oil is renowned for its pleasant floral fragrance and its ability to repel mosquitoes and other insects, while also soothing the skin.

Lavender: Lavender oil is beloved for its calming scent and its dual action as a natural insect repellent and skin soother, especially for bites and irritations.

Cedarwood: Cedarwood oil has a woody aroma that repels insects like ticks, ants, and fleas, and also has anti-inflammatory properties that can benefit the skin.

Tea Tree: Famous for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, Tea Tree oil also acts as an insect repellent, protecting against bites while treating skin irritations.

Catnip: Surprisingly, as (if not more) effective than DEET in repelling mosquitoes, Catnip oil has a unique scent that keeps insects at bay and is safe for skin application.

Patchouli: With its earthy and musky fragrance, Patchouli oil is excellent for repelling mosquitoes and insects while offering skin benefits like reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
